"Recovery
and Evolution in Stained Glass and Mixed Media." The African-American
Cultural Center at the University of Illinois at Chicago will host
an exhibit and lecture featuring artist Quinton Foreman. Foreman's
exhibit portrays still lifes, social practices, individuals and
community settings that suggest the experiences of black people.

"Quinton's
exhibit reflects his imaginative connections of the imagery and
icons from a host of African and African-American cultures through
translucent scenes and acrylic paintings," said Philip Royster,
director of the UIC African-American Cultural Center and professor
of English and African-American studies.

WHEN:

DETAILS:

The exhibit
and lecture are part of "Cultural Heritage Through the Arts"- the
center's year-long Visiting Artist Series.

"This series
intends to increase cultural understanding among people from diverse
backgrounds," said Royster. "If nothing else, the exhibits and lectures
will help participants learn to use art to understand something
of what it is to be human and how humans achieve within a complex
social order."

The exhibitors
of "Cultural Heritage Through the Arts" challenge audiences to address
discrimination, racism, and prejudice at the same time that they
demonstrate that art transcends cultural differences.

The exhibit
runs Nov. 1-30. Gallery hours are Monday through Friday, 8:30
a.m. to 4:45 p.m., or by appointment. Artists interested in being
a part of future series presentations should contact the African-American
Cultural Center (312) 996-9549.

Funding for
the series is provided, in part, by grants from the Elizabeth Firestone
Graham Foundation and the Student Activities Funding Committee of
UIC.
